Water erasable pen

Is any one using the Water erasable fabric marking pen to draw squares on the fabric for easier cross stitch?

Its called gridding. I think a lot of people do it for cross stitch but not everyone. I do :)

I am using it on my really big piece.  I do not use it for small or average size pieces.

I use fishing line for mine as I dont trust the ink will come out.   Just cautious!   I do have the frixion pens though and plan on testing my fabric!

Im using it on smaller pieces. Im always afraid that my long term works wont be "washable" ;p

I grid my fabric with Pilot Frixion pen all the time. Its fast to draw the grids, and its even faster to erase the ink. Just heat you fabric with a clothes iron and the ink will become transparent. I know a lot of quilters use these pens to draw patterns and such.

Frixion pens work like  magic. Ive been using these pens for almost 2 years now and I threw away all my water soluble markers a long time ago. LOL.

Ive never used a grid or maked off my fabric and Ive done some really large projects that required a full yard of linen.  I might grid if I ever did a HEAD chart.  I would not use a pen but would use some type of thread or maverick floss to do the gridding.

Wow. In this forum every day I learn somet new idea!! My son uses Pilot Frixion at school, but I never thought to use it to make a grid!  Thank you very much.
